NYMA was founded in 1889 by Charles Jefferson Wright, a Civil War veteran and former school teacher from New Hampshire who believed that a military structure provided the best environment for academic achievement, a philosophy to which the school still adheres.

North Country School
P.O. Box 187Lake Placid, New York, USA Show Phone Number
North Country School was preceded by its sister institution, so any account of its 70-plus-year history must begin with that of Camp Treetops, established in 1921 by educator Donald Slesinger. From the start, Treetops was different, enrolling boys and girls of young age and diverse backgrounds in an era when most camps were segregated by sex, race, and religion. Treetops legends Helen and Douglas Haskell were appointed co-directors in 1929 and for the next 40 years shaped Treetops in accordance with their values. To nurture children’s curiosity and creativity, campers dressed not in uniforms but in their own clothes; they...

The Gow School
P.O. Box 85South Wales, New York, USA Show Phone Number
During his first twenty years of teaching, Peter Gow, Jr. was fascinated by students who encountered difficulty with print language. He theorized that small classes and intensive drill would help these students to succeed. In 1926, he moved his family to South Wales, New York, where he converted a farm into a boarding school for young men. Shortly after the school opened, Peter Gow, Jr. met Dr. Samuel T. Orton, a neurologist, whose research indicated that a phonetic approach was the best way to educate those suffering from "specific language disabilities." Through teaching and working with students, Gow eventually developed...
